Just because someone is tall it doesn't mean they're good in the air or have the potential to be. They can improve, but if it doesn't come naturally then so be it I suppose. Heading a ball with power and accuracy is quite technical. A player is using nearly all major body parts, legs for Spring, arms for lift, shoulders to centre themselves, neck and head. Height helps,but the other stuff is way more important. Standing position as well. Colwill just doesn't have those things going for him when it comes to heading a ball.
